Located in the heart of Valtellina, in Chiuro, Pintalpina is much more than just a craft brewery. Founded in 2014 as a social cooperative, this project combines passion for beer and social commitment in a unique setting, rooted in the territory and attentive to people. Pintalpina stands out for its strong connection with the local community, offering concrete opportunities for work inclusion to young people with different abilities, thus promoting the enhancement of diversity and social equity.

A range of craft beers with an authentic character

The brewery offers a selection of beers mainly inspired by Belgian and Anglo-Saxon styles, but with an original and deeply Valtellina touch. The high-quality raw materials come from the area, ensuring authentic products full of character. Among the most appreciated permanent labels are:

Sbrega: a Double IPA with a bold character, 7.5% alcohol by volume
Nìgula: a light and fresh Golden Ale, with 4.5% alcohol
Sberlüsc: a balanced FestBier, with a soft and rounded taste, 5.5%
Rügen: an intense and enveloping Dubbel, with 7.0% alcohol
Sumartì: a rye Saison, with a spicy and refreshing taste, 6.0%
Witela: a soft and citrusy Witbier, at 4.8%

Each beer tells the story of a territory and a community that believes in craftsmanship and inclusion.

Managed by the Elianto cooperative, Pintalpina is committed to creating an inclusive and stimulating work environment. Through internships and job placements, the brewery offers young people with different abilities the opportunity to actively integrate into the productive world, thus increasing social cohesion in the area. This model of social responsibility shows how artisanal excellence and human sustainability can walk together towards a fairer future.

It is no surprise that the quality of Pintalpina beers has received prestigious recognition: in 2020, “Sbrega” won the silver medal at the European Beer Star in the Imperial IPA category, confirming the very high production level of this social brewery.
